Intel G41 Express Chipset not functional

I have a Core 2 duo 3Ghz and a Graphics card of G41 express chipset

Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit., 4gb ram.

dxdiag says Graphic card is approx total memory is 1695 mb while on 32 bit only says 1.3 something I guess upgrading to 64 bit

was a good choice, but my problem is playing games. I played League of Legends in lowest possible settings, at first FPS is good it reaches

about 60-80 fps but when it gets intense to the max FPS drops dramatically way down to 20fps, this shouldn't happen to a graphic card like this

I play League of Legends in my old 2gm ram and 256 mb Graph card and it runs smoothly in 30fps w/ no dramatic lagging and when playing at computer shop that has 1024mb graph card League of Legend can play 60fps in highest settings smoothly with no defects .. I installed MSI

Afterburner when I open the application it doesn't have any controls it seems as if it doesn't detect any graphic card?.. I don't know what to do.. It doesn't say anything in the Graphic card and Driver version its blank., I Updated the drivers to the latest version., dxdiag says driver version is 8.15.10.2869 date:11/14/2012. even in playing in other games like Ace Online It doesn't run smoothly with no flaw at lowest settings, I need some help here.

League of Legends has been tested and determined as playable using Intel® HD Graphics 3000 which is a more recent video controller, so this might be related to the requirements that the game requires to play, so may need to check with the game developer to confirm. Keep in mind that the Intel(R) G41 Express chipset is an integrated video controller not a dedicated graphics card.

Additionally you can try the suggestions provided by your game developer concerning this type of issue, by checking this article:
